Kansas football team wins accolades

Kansan sportswriter
Throughout the 1995 season, Kansas football coach Glen Mason has said that his isn't the most talented team, but rather one of the closest krit.
Not everyone shares the coach's point of view, though.
Kansas' talent didn't go unrecognized either.
The Associated Press named 11 Jayhawks to its All-Big Eight Conference teams.
"I won't say, like Mason, that we don't have talent, because we have a tremendous amount of talent," senior outside linebacker Keith Rodgers said. "But the team concept was really our strong point this season."
Kansas senior offensive guard Chris Banks and senior cornerback Dorian Brew were both first team honorees. Banks helped anchor a young offensive line while Brew finished second in the league with four interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown against Oklahoma.
Second-team players were Rodgers, senior offensive tackle Rod Jones, sophomore linebacker Jason Thoren and senior punter Darrin Simmons.
Simmons, who also was named to the District VII GTE Academic All-America team, downplayed the importance of individual honors.
“It’s nice that I’m having a good year in terms of the team’s having a good year,” Simmons said. “I could have the worst season in Kansas history, and it wouldn’t bother me as long as we ended up 11-0.”
The Jayhawks who received honorable mentions on the Big Eight team include senior running back L.T. Levine, junior wide receiver Isaac Byrd, senior wide receiver Ashaunald Smith, senior quarterback Mark Williams and junior tight
end Jim Moore.
Four of the recognized players also will be playing in postseason all-star bowl games.
Jones and Brew are going to the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala., Levine will play in the Hula Bowl in Honolulu and Banks is headed to the East-West Shrine game in Stanford, Calif.
The Jayhawks do have their fair share of talent, and their opponents this season weren't exactly slouches either.
Take Nebraska senior quarterback Tommie Frier for example.
"He is Nebraska," Kansas senior
linebacker Dick Holt said. "All the things they do center around him. He deserves the Heisman Trophy, if anyone does."
Against the Jayhawks, the Cornhuskers' candidate for college football's most esteemed individual award was 10-of-15 passing for 86 yards and a touchdown. He also gained 99 yards and two touchdowns on the ground.
Speaking of Heisman Trophy can didates, how about Iowa State sophomore running back Troy Davis?
Kansas held Davis to 80 yards below his average, and Davis is one
of only six running backs in college football history to run for more than 2,000 yards in a season. He totaled 2,010 yards and 15 touchdowns for the Cyclones.
"He's the real deal. He's an outstanding running back," Mason said. "I'd guess there's no way you'd ever get your name mentioned for Heisman considerations unless you're one heck of a football player."

Kansan staff report
Kansas women's basketball coach Marian Washington was pleased that the Jayhawks were able to regroup from a 65-58 loss to Iowa on Sunday.
"When we came in to play Creighton, we already knew they had beaten Missouri," Washington said. "They are a fine ball club and they do a lot of things well. They gave us a good run early on, but we stayed together and picked up our intensity in the second half."
Junior guard Tamecka Dixon led the Jayhawks with a season-high 26 points. She also pulled down six rebounds and handed out four assists. Junior guard Angie Hablelb
